My son had one final observation: “Why does Joseph Cotten always play characters that remind me of you? In The Third Man, he’s a broke genre fiction writer who calls himself a hack, drinks too much, and becomes obsessed with the girl. In this, he plays a theatre critic who insists on writing an honest review, even if it costs him his job and his friendship.”

You could do far worse than being compared to Joseph Cotten, both in Citizen Kane and The Third Man :)

Writer, bookseller, would-be roadie for the E Street Band. My ultimate goal is to make books as popular in Texas as high school football...it may take a while.
